EV charger installation in Brighton
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Brighton, planned around your home
A standard power point adds only about 10km of range an hour. A dedicated 7kW wall charger is around four times faster, and a solar-aware charger can soak up your surplus solar during the day instead of exporting it for a few cents.
We check your switchboard and main supply, recommend single or three phase charging, and install the charger neatly where your car actually parks. In Brighton we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. From Brighton to nearby Sandgate and Deagon, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Brighton gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

Getting to know Brighton
The Brighton Hotel, thought to be named after the seaside town in Sussex, lent the suburb its name. A Methodist church and the state school both opened in 1920. In October 1935 the Hornibrook Bridge linked Brighton to Clontarf across the water. During World War II, an RAAF training school ran on reclaimed land from 1940 to 1946, and Nashville State School and St Kieran's opened in 1960.
Homes along Bramble Bay face salt spray and strong breezes, so coastal-rated equipment, stainless fixings and solid wind-load engineering matter more here than in inland suburbs.

Call 0449 942 735How much does it cost to install an EV charger?
A 7kW charger is typically $1,000 to $2,300 installed. If your switchboard needs an upgrade, allow another $800 to $2,200. We give a fixed price after a quick check.
Can I charge my EV from solar?
Yes. A solar-aware charger adjusts its charging speed to match your surplus solar, so you use your own power instead of exporting it. It works best if the car is home during the day.
Do I need three phase power?
No. Most homes are well served by a 7kW single phase charger, which comfortably fills most cars overnight. Three phase allows 11kW to 22kW if your home already has it.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
